The Importance of Watching Daily Glycemic Load

One meta-analysis found that people who ate a low-glycemic load diet were less likely to develop type 2 diabetes

The usefulness of tracking glycemic load is becoming increasingly apparent. For example, a meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that people who ate a low-glycemic load diet were less likely to develop type 2 diabetes.

As for following a low-glycemic load diet, the American Diabetes Association's recommendations emphasize high-fiber and low-glycemic load carbohydrates based on the current evidence.

Carbohydrates and glycemic load

Carbohydrates are classified as either simple or complex based on the length of the carbohydrate chains that compose them, but better measures of carbohydrate quality have been developed:

The glycemic index tells us how a food affects blood sugar levels in comparison to a similar amount of a glucose drink, table sugar, or white bread.

Glycemic load takes into account both the effect of a food on blood sugar levels and the amount of carbohydrate in a typical serving. For example, the carbohydrate in a carrot has a strong effect on blood glucose levels, so it has a high glycemic index; however, a carrot is mostly water, so its carbohydrate content in a typical serving is small. Therefore, its glycemic load is low.

Estimating daily glycemic load

The meta-analysis looked at data from 24 studies to find a relationship between daily glycemic load and diabetes risk:

The people in the studies reported their daily food intake on questionnaires.

Glycemic load values were assigned for each food.

The glycemic loads of the foods eaten in an average day were added to determine an initial daily glycemic load.

Because some people eat a lot and others eat very little, each person's initial daily glycemic load was adjusted to reflect the daily glycemic load for a person with the same diet eating 2,000 calories per day.

Low-glycemic-load diet can prevent diabetes

The researchers found that eating a low-glycemic load diet was protective against diabetes. Their analysis showed:

The range of daily glycemic loads across the studies was approximately 60 to 280 grams.?

For every 100-gram decrease in daily glycemic load, diabetes risk dropped by 45%.?

The protective effect of a low daily glycemic load was stronger in women.?

European Americans seemed to benefit more from a low-glycemic load diet than people of other ethnicities.

"Altogether, our meta-analysis supports that glycemic load is an important and underestimated dietary characteristic that, among others, contributes significantly to the incidence of type 2 diabetes," the study's authors said.

Choose whole and colorful fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables generally have low glycemic values. Fiber and complex carbohydrates contribute to their low glycemic effects. The glycemic load of some fruits and vegetables is further decreased by their high water and low carbohydrate content, while some starchy fruits and vegetables like bananas and russet potatoes have relatively higher glycemic loads. Colorful fruits and vegetables also contain phytochemicals that may exert additional benefits on glucose metabolism and help prevent diabetes and its complications. Examples include berries, citrus fruits, greens, brassicas, squashes, and tomatoes.

Use whole grains. Choose brown rice over white rice and whole or steel cut oats over instant rolled oats. Cooling carbohydrate foods like potatoes, rice, and pasta after cooking them increases their content of resistant starch (indigestible carbohydrates) and lowers their glycemic loads, so consider having these foods in salads or other unheated dishes. Breads made with whole grains and sourdough fermentation are a better choice than white yeasted breads.

Snack on nuts. Nuts and seeds are low in carbohydrates and therefore have very low glycemic loads. They also have fiber and healthy fats that may contribute to preventing diabetes and its consequences.
